Joy – 27th January 2020

Gratitude Journal

I am so happy and grateful to Said for loaning me 100 baht so I could buy coffee.

It is a joy to be hidden…..but disaster not to be found.

To-do list

  • Review each hour at night
  • Think before speaking – do not complain ½
  • No Facebook at work ✅

Spent free time at work today finishing the final exam questions. That’s me prepared until the end of April.

I challenged myself today with the question – ‘what can you do to surprise your partner?’ After a little thought I realised I should book somewhere nice for us to go for our tenth wedding anniversary. I’m really happy with myself about that. It will be a fantastic time.

My challenge for each hour of today:
6am – stretch, meditate, shower, eat, five points challenge
7am – drove to work, prepared extra worksheets
8am – got coffee and did some reading from Daily Stoic*
9am – worked more on the IEC exam, went to pee many times
10am – continued on exams and got another coffee
11am – finished exam paper and printed, messaged Jim and dropped off
12pm – ate lunch and read some more Daily Stoic
1pm – watched Coursera videos and failed the quiz
2pm – fixed set up in library just in time for the only lesson of the day
3pm – rushed through the lesson, Jim returned exams for updates
4pm – fixed exam papers and dropped off again, drove home
5pm – finished reading A Chinese Life
6pm – watched some TV, and looked at Facebook for the first time
7pm – ate dinner and discussed holiday plans with Amy
8pm – here in bed, writing this and will read next

*What do you remember reading from Daily Stoic today? If you can’t remember then I think I didn’t really take in what I was reading.

Let me know your thoughts
